Blinded by the Lights is apt. All those coloured boxes make the pages hurtful to read. If you wish to make each girl's speech distinct using a font colour for their name is more then enough. Some of the colour combinations with the white text require highlighting just so the text is visible.
Whilst I am keen to keep a distinct color scheme for each character in the game, I can see your point about it potentially being hard to read. The general art style still needs some tinkering and I'll likely look into muting the colors a little more to make the text easier to read. I didn't really want the conventional black dialogue box as color and character go hand in hand when I'm creating each character. But thank you for bringing this to my attention as it is something that is easily overlooked when I'm working on the game.

So I've got mixed feelings about this ... on one hand, it's made with some good polish, the images/gifs are crisp and there's a good selection of models unlike a lot of real porn games, and I dig the whole powers element... on the other hand what generally is the draw for these kind of games is the writing for the sex scenes, but here you're just given a selection of clips for a porn scene to choose, which kinda feels pretty flat for a game and at that point you might as well just be looking up actual videos of stuff... this is all subjective honestly but it's just where I find myself.

Only major gripe is when you've got to speak to one of the sisters between 4-5, given you don't get out of community service till after then ... first time I had that up I skipped through a week (which isn't an enjoyable process, it's lots of clicking as you're forced to go to community service, skip time, head back, go to your room, skip the day, sleep, wake up) then I had the mother Friday event - bam there goes my weekend, skip through a week again, speak to her on the Saturday, next event I need to see her in the bathroom so I'm now doing this on the Sunday, I'm skipping one hour intervals to catch her in there, I do that bit, it ends at 6 or something, next event - speak to her 4-5 ... soooo another week to skip through to get that one ... now I'm sure it's largely because the game is unfinished and there'll be stuff to do in the community centre normally, but still if that range of talking to her was 4-6 it'd alleviate a lot of problems when you're pursuing her.

You've brought up some valid points so I wanted to take a moment to address your comment.

With regards to the writing of the sex scenes, they've already changed format a couple of times, and are likely to change a few more times. With some free-roam and background events I've started implementing more written elements, and most base format scenes are usually the repeatable events or are nestled inside other events. I agree that when you compare it to the rest of the game they can be quite flat, and so in the future I can look at modifying them more.

The more major issue is something I realised whilst finishing up the update on Monday, but didn't have time to change. Whilst testing I too found the issue of having to skip through so much time to interact with the new content. Therefore, along with a few other background things I want to get done, there will be a hotfix update on Friday which will address this issue. More specifically, the MC's house timetable is getting redone, and should mean that characters are available for quests more often. Some events may still need to be at certain times (e.g the Mom friday event is specific to the weekend), but the for the most part I'm still trying to find the right balance.

Thank you very much for the feedback you and other people have provided, it really helps to improve the game.

I've written a more comprehensive post on my Discord but I also wanted to take the time to reply here. I am fully on board with people create alternative resource packs or providing character remakes using other models. Once your remake is live I'll definitely check it out.

It should be pointed out that behind the scenes, a bunch of different models have already been shortlisted and written as potential characters for the game. Ava Addams is one such character, and is likely to make an appearance in game in a minor capacity very soon.

The full list of 10 models that are currently set up to be added into the game in the future is on my Discord server. But once again, I fully support the use of remaking the character assets, and if anyone had any questions regarding that, I would be happy to answer them.

Blue Phantom Found this game first on tfgamessite where it was tagged with m/m, sissy and feminization but those aren't the tags here so it has me a little bit confused. What type of content does this game consist of?

There are in fact 2 games which use the name Community Service. The first is the game you found of tfgamessite by users Freeshot and Yaflow, which features the content and tags you've described. The second is my game. Hence, "Inspired by Misfits, Created by Blue Phantom".

My game focuses on a group of individuals who, after a freak electrical storm, begin to discover that they have developed superhuman abilities. The tags on this thread are the most accurate to the content in game, and I don't intend to cross over to the tags of tfgamessite.

The confusion of the names was pointed out very early on, but due to the setup and inspiration of the game being from the TV show Misfits, I decided to keep the name, and added as much as I could to differentiate the two separate entities. As far as I am aware, the writers of the other game do not operate on f95zone, as such there is no official thread on f95zone for their game, allowing some distance to be put between the two.

In all fairness though, their game released its first version a few months before me, and if they, or the general playerbase, feel that a change in title is warranted, I would concede and alter the game.

This complaint about the lack of writing for some of the sex scenes has been my primary concern with the game as well, so it's good to hear it's something you're keeping in mind going forward. You've done a great job with most of the game so far, but by comparison to much of the rest of the game the 'sex position name' -> 'video clip' -> 'next position' segments feel unfinished and kind of boring. If we just wanted to watch porn clips we wouldn't be playing your game.

A completed roadmap for Chapter 1 has just been uploaded on Discord, and the hotfix that I had hoped to release today will be out over the weekend. The hotfix will address things such as the timetable for the family members, updating the game to the new textbox format, and altering the new format to make it easier to read and see.

really looking forward to updates, however this one looks like is wasnt even tested before release. Mind you, I'm playing the online version, but errors on just about every page, including Notes, Characters, etc. And trying to peek on Mom leads to a blank page. Hard Pass at the moment until I read of major Bug Fixes in changelog :mad:

The current online version on itch.io is on update v1.3.1, with the latest release being v1.6.1. I'm currently looking decreasing the overall size of the game and finding a better host to put the game online. The game is tested before release, and I run through all the new content I add to make sure everything is working as it should be. Sometimes things slip through, and once I'm made aware I can then go and fix it. For example, the peek on mom bug was found and patched, and in the latest update the way this was handled in game was also changed to suit the new timetable. I'm not sure why you are receiving errors on every page, could you provide some details/screenshots as to what these errors are? That way I'll be able to see if these are an issue with the game currently or just an issue with the older online itch.io version.
